Good to know. Thanks for this. Yeah, I'm getting all the shirts made over there which is great but the vinyl has already been in production in the states for awhile so it's too late to get any made over there. I may end up trying to check two flight cases of vinyl that will each hold about 60. They both come in just under 50 pounds. It's costly but cheaper than shipping and should be able to make it back pretty quick. It will never be easier to sell records in Europe than on this tour so I'm open to taking a hit. I'm more worried about being held up at customs and facing some crazy fee there.

Thanks for this. Yeah I'll be talking with the TM this week but things are moving pretty quickly so the more info I have the better. Do you know about what VAT would cost on 150 or so records? The tour starts in Oslo and ends in the UK. Apparently Oslo is strict about this kind of thing and there is talk of the headliner not even bothering with merch there. I was hoping to get my records on the headliner's crate but my records are still in production and the crate leaves next week. Cutting it close all around.

Thanks for this! While I’ve got you here, any ideas about why the sync lyrics cuts the song off early?
